Star Entertainment Group (SGR) 97.5c

SGR rallied +2.6% yesterday albeit off an extremely low base, we’re sticking with what we said last week – “We have no interest in picking the bottom in SGR but our best guess is it rotates between 90c and $1.20 through the 2H i.e. an alternative to the Melbourne Cup!”

Star Entertainment Group (SGR) $1.00

In our opinion, this has firmly become a trading, as opposed to investment grade, stock however we can see more +20% bounces over the coming months but MM is unlikely to participate.

Star Entertainment Group Ltd (SGR) $1.06

SGR  has been discussed a few times recently as the embattled casino operator starts to offer some semblance of value after plunging over -76% from its 2021 high but we’re also cognisant that our portfolios have outperformed post-COVID often because we’ve avoided catching falling knives i.e. only over recent weeks via Magellan (MFG), Lend Lease (LLC) and Elders (ELD) have we ventured into the deep value pockets of the market. SGR recently announced that the Queen's Wharf opening is now expected from April 2024, a delay of ~4 months from previous plans but when things look their worst opportunities often present themselves.

Star Entertainment Group (SGR) $1.18

SGR has been embroiled in controversy over the last 18 months falling from ~$3 down to just 99c last week, however we question, has the baby been thrown out with the bathwater? While earnings have been under pressure with fines and regulatory restrictions hampering operations, we can’t lose sight of the value of their underlying assets.

Star Entertainment Group (SGR) $1.44

SGR has been in the news for all the wrong reasons over the last few years but we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel with Scott Wharton moving on after just 8 months to grab a post elsewhere, it could easily be interpreted that he’s abandoning the sinking ship but with a new NSW Labor Government a new CEO might also be just what the beleaguered casino operator needs.
